Be true to yourselves, white Democrats
OF Ouachita, and you will not be false to
good government, white supremacy and
your country.
Put down ringism and bossism, white
Democrats. Haven't you courage, intelli-
gence and patriotism enough to govern
yourselves:

street commissioner. He is doing some
splendid work.
The whole theory of our government is
against running Offices by proxy. The
people of Ouachita ought not to set such

The people oftlle United States elect their

This is the only precedent that Ouachita

dividual.
Judge A. L. Slack's many friends in
Monroe were glad to hear Of his endorse

NO. City Item: North Louisiana far
mers are already economizing their tim
Der and using barbed wire for fencing. A
barbed wire factory in this city ought to
pay handsomely, for the raw material is
largely imported through this port, while
the market is all around us.
Every white Democrat in the parish OF
Ouachita who is opposed to bossism and
ring politics should have the courage OF his
convictions and make them manifest at tho
ballot box on the 2S inst, It will be no
child's play to defeat the ring and every
man is expected to put his shoulder to
the wheel and do his whole duty.
kichland Beacon: Albert Tate a color
ed man sent from this parish to the peni-
Tertiary for life escaped from the guards
and was seen by several parties with gun
in the woods. On Monday morning the
Kennedy boys and T. w. Cumpton found
him in cotton seed house on S. w.
Smiths place. He attempted to shoot but
one of his captors fired and broke the stock
of his gun aud wounded him III the hand.
He is now in Jail.
Tho ring resolutions are ciinchers.
They do not propose to be troubled hereat-
ter with any such obstacle as presented it
self i'll the matter of vacancies on their com
lnittee. The people arc no longer to have
any voice i'll the matter-the power of
keeping the machine in running order has
been delegated to two men. DO tho reo-
pie propose to stand idly by and see all
their powers, rights and privileges delegat-
ed to a one man power? We are not pre-
pared to believe it.
